Livia erklärt, wie sie zusammen mit ihrem Team auf die Idee kam, personalisierte Kletterschuhe zu entwickeln, nachdem sie selbst jahrelang keine passenden Schuhe für ihre Bedürfnisse finden konnte.

The ‘Hotstar’ refers to the Indian streaming company that Disney acquired in order to roll out across Asian markets. This new service will feature tons of local Indonesian content and also includes a partnership with Indonesian telco Telkomsel.Indonesia is the biggest market in Southeast Asia and has always been an attractive country for Western multinationals looking to expand across Asia. The timing of this launch should be positive—as overall streaming consumption has increased because of the coronavirus. Two local rivals, Hooq and iFlix, have recently shut down, which allows more room for Disney. Indonesia’s population is still price sensitive to paying for premium content, so the initial pricing strategy is really important. In partnership with Telkomsel, Indonesian consumers can purchase data and content bundles from Disney at different levels and over a set of options around subscription length.SoftBank + Unacademy = Growing Indian EdTech Scene 🎓The investment firm SoftBank has just injected $150 Million into Indian online education platform Unacademy, with the startup now valued at $1.45 Billion. Unacademy is a five year old company whose valuation has now tripled over the last six months. As a fund with the ability to write some of the biggest checks in the world, SoftBank’s latest investment is an encouraging sign for the hot Indian EdTech Scene.Online education is booming around the world because of the coronavirus, and India is one of the largest countries to witness this. Unacademy works by connecting teachers with students through a subscription service that includes live video lectures and exams. The company has 30 Million users and 350,000 paying subscribers, which is a 4x increase since February of this year. Overall funding raised by Indian ed tech startups in 2020 has increased seven times since the same time period one year ago. In an age of many winners and losers because of Covid, online education continues to be one of the biggest winners.Kuaishou’s E-Commerce Plans 🎥Chinese mobile video app Kuaishou is one of several competitors in the Chinese digital media market. In an attempt to both differentiate and grow, Kuaishou recently announced ambitious new plans for expansion. They plan to incubate 100,000 businesses and help them achieve $146,000 in annual sales this year. They also have a goal to build 100 industrial bases, train 100,000 new livestreamers, and host 1,000,000 e-commerce livestream sessions over the coming year.What’s the motivation behind these plans? Growth, timing, and opportunity. Across the board, all Chinese companies engaged in e-commerce have seen booms in usage because of the coronavirus, and livestreaming has become the most popular e-commerce subcategory.

In episode 329, Jon Russell, editor of The Ken Southeast Asia, joined us in a conversation to discuss the continuing epic rivalry between Gojek and Grab in the era of COVID-19 pandemic. Starting from the perspective of Gojek, we discuss the impact and changes made after the founder's departure and how they are re-organizing to tackle Grab's onslaught in Indonesia and expanding out to other parts of Southeast Asia from Indonesia. With new investments from US tech giants, Facebook and Paypal, we discuss how Gojek is shaping itself to be a worthy rival against Grab backed by SoftBank and Alibaba in Southeast Asia. Last but not least, Jon discuss why the media streaming giants of Southeast Asia, HOOQ & iFlix failed to take on Netflix and the key takeaways for unicorn start-ups in the era of COVID-19 pandemic. Here are the interesting show notes and links to the discussion: Jon Russell (@jonrussell, LinkedIn, Newsletter, Personal Site, The Ken Profile) Since we have last spoken, you have moved out of TechCrunch and now joined The Ken. Can you talk about The Ken and what is your new role there? Grab vs Gojek in 2020 Let’s start from Gojek, a lot of things have happened. Their founder and former CEO, Nadiem Makarim has left the company and become a Minister of Education & Culture under President Jokowi’s cabinet in Indonesia. What’s the impact on Gojek after his departure? (Ref: Up for Grab? Gojek after Nadiem Makarim) They have started the expansion to Southeast Asia last year but it has not grown very well. (Ref: Gojek’s stunted SE Asia expansion story), can you talk about their challenges in expanding out of Indonesia while dealing with Grab who is competing in their backyard? That being said, they have been doing well on the fundraising front: Gojek has been invested by Facebook and Paypal (Source: CNBC).  What are the implications to Gojek as Google, Paypal and Facebook are lining up against Grab? (Ref: Facebook, PayPal’s payments play a super app-ortunity for Gojek) The US tech giants are in Indonesia just as the Chinese tech giants, for example, Meituan-Dianping which is a super app entering the market. What can Gojek and Grab learn from Meituan-Dianping? (Ref: The Gojek-Grab SE Asia super app battle with a Meituan twist) What is the impact of COVID-19 on Grab and Gojek? Both Gojek and Grab have done layoffs in the past month. How do you look at the approaches from both companies? (Grab CEO’s memo, Gojek’s layoffs) SoftBank has been taking a hit from Wework and Oyo. What is the downstream impact to Grab based on the current troubles in the Vision Fund? Is the race to dominate Southeast Asia going down to whether Grab or Gojek wins Indonesia and not the other countries (Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia, Singapore)?  What will the key battleground for Grab and Gojek in the coming 2021?  Impact of COVID-19 to Southeast Asia  You have written a lot of media streaming companies similar to Netflix, for example HOOQ from Singapore and iFlix from Malaysia. The COVID-19 pandemic have led to HOOQ being shut down and iFlix being acquired from Tencent. What are the key learnings from HOOQ’s downfall and iFlix’s acquisition?  What are the key takeaways from the COVID pandemic for Southeast Asia? (Ref: 7 takeaways from Covid-time digital winners and losers in Southeast Asia) Closing Can you recommend a book or movie or podcast or anything which recently made an impact to your work and personal life?

Welcome to East West Hurricane! 🌪We update you on the most essential news from Asia in tech, media, and business—the things you need to know that you probably haven’t heard in Western media.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram! ⚡️PUBG Hits $3 Billion Revenue Milestone 🎯Player Unknown’s Battle Grounds (PUBG) was released in 2017 and has been one of the most successful mobile games in the world, a direct peer to Fortnite, another huge gaming success. It was created by South Korean company Bluehole, which is partially owned by Chinese tech giant Tencent. Over the last seven months, the game has doubled its lifetime revenue to reach $3 Billion.A recent report from Sensor Tower outlined some of the game’s key stats, including the data point that PUBG made $270 Million in month of March alone. PUBG’s success is a good temperature check for the overall gaming market, which is doing really well in the time of coronavirus. Like most gaming apps, PUBG makes most of its money from players making in-app purchases.South East Asia’s Streaming Platforms 📺South East Asia (SEA) is a complicated region, composed of eleven countries that make up a combined population of 680 Million people. Between January to April, online viewing time has increased by 150% across the largest South East Asian countries. In SEA, the market for online streaming platforms is complex, with both global players like Netflix and local players like iFlix. Malaysia’s iFlix has 25 Million active users across SEA and was bought out by Tencent after financial troubles earlier this year. A rival platform, Singapore-based Hooq had 80 million active users but shut down in April after struggling to overcome their massive losses. The coronavirus has caused ad revenue to drop, and the model of a streaming platform paying lots of money to acquire content upfront has been challenging in South East Asia where customers usually have free alternatives. Hong Kong’s Viu uses a freemium model where their content is free but their 41 Million users can pay to remove ads. There are also many new entrants into the market. China’s Tencent is using their iFlix acquisition as a cornerstone for their SEA strategy. China’s iQiyi is also planning to launch their streaming service in the region. Disney+ announced recently that they are opening a Singapore office this year and likely launching very soon. And ride-hailing app Gojek, Indonesia’s first unicorn, is also launching their own video service called GoPlay. Ant Financial Plans IPO 🐜Ant Financial is the fintech spin-off of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. Ant has become on its own one of the world’s biggest companies and is planning to float on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange later this year, at a potential valuation of $200 Billion. Depending on your definition, this would make Ant Financial the biggest privately-held startup unicorn in the world and the biggest public stock listing of the year. Ant Financial is not always a well known player on the world tech scene, but it’s likely one of the most underrated. Alibaba spun out Ant Financial in 2014, initially created as the payment processing system for Taobao, Alibaba’s e-commerce platform. Alipay, which is the primary product of Ant Financial, is the world’s mobile and online payments platform. On top of mobile payments, Ant Financial runs the world’s largest money-market fund and offers a diverse set of financial services. Alipay currently has 1.2 Billion users globally and Alibaba still holds a 33% ownership stake in Ant Financial. This is a public episode.

SlatorPod #4! Florian Faes and Esther Bond discuss South-East Asia streaming joint-venture HOOQ and their localization efforts across a handful of Asian languages. The two also talk about Lionbridge being sued over earn-out payments by the founders of Geotext, a legal translation company they acquired in 2015. Translation scams continue to be a problem with fake translators impersonating real ones. Esther talks about how those scams work and what can be done about it.

At the beginning it was just a hobby, but later turned into a passion.He is a student of Rzeszów University of Technology . One day he discovered his next love, which is music. From that day - music, parties and club culture is an integral part of his life. In recent years, everything has changed his view on club culture and electronic music primarily. The development and expansion of musical horizons considerably influenced a few people, which is today very grateful. His origins of “DJing” can be classified as school discos where "let go" music from the computer and drove the audience to have fun. Finally there came a day when he met a professional music mixing software on his computer, as well as "tools" dj such as CD-players of, turntables, mixers, audio interfaces, and more.He starts to use programs for music , DJ mixer and MIDI controller with what mixes music and create their own sets, which seek to reproduce their inspiration. In his sets you can hear the broader alternative electronic music - ranging from Trance, Progressive by warm sounding Tech-House, ending with contemporary music Techno - sometimes substitute of Industrial. For the past two years has undergone a little makeover. Distord has discovered his attraction to a completely different genre of music that is Psychedelic Trance. His most recent club performances were littered with very strong, thrilling lines of bass, flowing, melodic lines, spatial, and often very wicked sounds. That's all you can hear in his last 3 very psychedelic sets. You could hear it in clubs such as Studio 21 - Jaroslaw, Night Club - Mielec, Saturn - Przemysl, Chilli - Rzeszow, Alchemy - Rzeszów, Labyrint - Stalowa Wola, accompanied by DJs such as nexy, Hooq, Niko, Aki, Freak, Shari Vari, Cream, Daze, Tech, TD Project FreeJay, Mark Nightingale, DRM, STO3, Quiet, Green, Milosz-B, Pi, Edd, Splinter. Distord is very ambitious and tenacious man, which is why a lot of practicing at home, and their sets tries some work in every way. Constantly striving for perfection. Is in the process of "building" his own mini-studio, where in peace and quiet he’s gonna start massive music productions ... dj.beatport.com/distord
